PromptingTextInput

Package | flexlib.controls
Class | public class PromptingTextInput
Inheritance | PromptingTextInput mx.controls.TextInput

The `PromptingTextInput` component is a small enhancement to standard `TextInput`. It adds the ability to specify a prompt value that displays when the text is empty, similar to how the prompt property of the `ComboBox` behaves when there is no selected value.
